Alfredo Stuffed Shells a la Florentine

Hopped in the kitchen to whip together some spinach and tomato stuffed shells with an Alfredo sauce this weekend. I followed a basic recipe of a ricotta and shredded Italian cheeses mixture for the filling and decided to throw in some toms and spin that needed to be used. If I'm being humble, it came out particularly delicious. I also rolled some pepperoni and fresh mozzarella croissants for Super Bowl yumness, shown in the pic on the back part of the stove. I brushed the amazing olive oil that I talked about before in a post , along with Parmesan cheese over top, and wa-la! Hunter asked me to marry him all over again with this one. Sometimes my most favorite place to be is in my kitchen, no real recipe, just going through the fridge and saying, "Yea, let's just try this..." Until we meet again, M

Stop hating, start baking

And so she did. I find that a yummy treat to make at the start of a week and have as an option for breakfast or dinner throughout is a nice bread loaf. Sometimes I keep it simple and grab a box. Other times I choose to go the "from scratch" route. Last week we did blueberry, this week apple cinnamon. It's good to mix up the mix all around. I think a DJ said that one time. If not, they should. Baking is refreshing and holds you accountable. You can't wing it so much with baking as you can cooking. At least I can't. I find that it gives me a chance to focus and relax all at once. I hereby vow to crank up some Bille H and make more masterpieces. Because it is so good for my soul. And who willingly turns that kind of thing down? Image via Pinterest, via here , aka I need this for my kitchen like yesterday :) Til we meet again, M
